During my last reboot, I spotted the following line:
/dev/hda5 has reached maximal mount count, check forced
The system then proceeded to check the drive. After that the system finished
booting properly, and there don't seem to be any problems.
I've seen the message "[blah blah blah], check forced" before, usually after
an improper shutdown, so I know what's going on when I see it. I'm just
curious about the "maximal mount count" part. My guess is that after a drive
has been mounted a certain number of times, fsck will do a routine integrity
check. Am I correct? Or should I be looking closer at something?
